[fetchmail]howto trigger polling

2004-09-29 07:34:03
What's the easiest way to trigger a fetchmail daemon to poll for new mail?

I have fetchmail configured to poll every 5 minutes for new mail, but sometimes somone comes into my office and says, "Hey, Ian. I just sent you an email. Did you get it yet?". Then I say, "Wait a second." And they laugh at me as I proceed to find fetchmail's pid and kill -HUP it. Very klunky, they say. Which it is, compared to their GUI driven emailers.

Thanks for any advice.
